FY14 Budget: Chapter 806 $380
FY15 Budget: Senate Bill 30 $511
Projected Increase $131
Summary of DRPT Budget Actions
Fund Rail Preservation Program from REF
Fund TEIF Program from MTTF Special Funds
Move 3.5% language for Project Development to
Admin Program, where it is reported in CTB Budget
Delete language for outdated projects
Align budget with revised revenue estimates

Technical Amendments
Item 439 #5g: Updates annualized funding
estimates for Mass Transit Trust Fund (MTTF) and
Flexible STP
Item 440 #2g: Corrects an incorrect code reference

Impact of Proposed Budget
Amendments
Member requests to earmark funds will impact statewide
rail and transit programs through the reduction of available
resources
DRPT supports local decision making with state
collaboration on larger regional initiatives
DRPT supports locally initiated grant applications to
ensure that state directives do not override local planning
efforts.
Proposed budget amendments would have a negative
impact on the state share of transit funding
– In FY14, state match was at least 20% (first time in five years)

$1.5 million Alternatives Analysis
(AA): July 2013-July 2014
AA will result in Locally Preferred
Alternative (LPA) recommendation
that may advance into project
development
$4 million to advance the LPA into
project development included in
proposed budget amendments will
further advance project readiness
toward application for the FTA New
Starts Program

SB1140 Implementation
Transit Service Delivery Advisory Committee (TSDAC) worked with DRPT
CTB adopted operating model in October 2013 and capital model in December 2013
Operating model Incorporates efficiency and
effectiveness measures
– Net cost per rider (50%)
– Riders per revenue hour (25%)
– Riders per revenue mile (25%)
CTB Adopted Capital Tiers
– Tier 1: Vehicles - 68% State Match
– Tier 2: Infrastructure and Facilities - 34% State Match
– Tier 3: Other - 17% State Match
21
SB1140 Implementation
TSDAC recommended use of multi-year funding
agreements for capital projects and a reserve fund for
capital and operating stability
CTB resolution requires TSDAC and DRPT to review
the results of the first year of new capital allocation in
June of 2014
DRPT and TSDAC will propose a revised methodology
to be considered by the Board, if needed
DRPT to provide transitional assistance to jurisdictions
that suffer a financial loss
22
Transit Capital Funding “Cliff’
In addition to the PRIIA match, transit received a 20%
share of the CPR bonds
DRPT and the transit stakeholders chose to spread
the funding over a 10 year period
– Approximately $60M per year
State matching percentages estimated to drop
significantly in FY19
